engine almost dies at normal temps
my sisters' 94 starts and runs fine until it warms up then it runs terrible. flooring the gas gets her to about 10 mph with a burning smell. the only code set is a 34, knock sensor. the mechanic she took it to replaced the first cat converter and didn't fix the problem. now he wants to change out the second cat. i think they're just guessing, anybody have any suggestions?

Re: engine almost dies at normal temps
The distributor is more than likely the problem (common on these vans).You can try cleaning it with contact cleaner before replacing it. Remove dist.cap,remove metal plate inside and spray the indexing plate and camshaft sensor and reassemble.

the distributor was replaced a few months ago, i'll double check it to see if it's failed already. have any ideas on how to reset the 34 code? it could be left over from when the dist. was replaced last.

Re: engine almost dies at normal temps
Disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes should clear the code,if not leave battery disconnected 24 hours to reset the vans keep alive memory and pcm stored values.

Re: engine almost dies at normal temps
It was probably a broken crankshaft snout. That affects the timing belt and screws up the injector timing too. This will make it run rich and retarded timing and will fry a catylitic converter in no time.
These Villagers and Quests are bullet proof except for the weak crank snout in 93 -95. If you replace the a/c belt and overtighten the tensioer, it will put too much side load on the crank. Nissan did not design for overtightening, which is quite common in the field. Also, go here for Village/Quest help
